The Cordova 2028 campaign is releasing three connected public documents: The Guardian Curriculum, A Letter to Parents and Students, and A Letter to America's Teachers and Educators. Together, they present an education framework built around civic ownership, democratic stewardship, and the public responsibility to govern America's shared natural inheritance.
The central claim is direct. Public education has trained generations of young people to enter the economy, but not enough of them to understand the wealth structure governing their lives. If students are heirs to public resources, then democracy requires schools to teach not only institutional mechanics, but also ownership, extraction, public process, and stewardship.
What is being released
- The Guardian Curriculum frames every child as an heir to America's shared natural-resource inheritance and argues that public education should teach how that inheritance is governed.
- The family letter explains why housing, healthcare, education, and mandatory insurance have become unaffordable and why students deserve to learn the ownership story behind those conditions.
- The educator letter speaks directly to teachers, counselors, coaches, and administrators about the seriousness of the work, including certification, real civic participation, and professional support.
- The framework is explicitly connected to the American Resource Dividend so public stewardship is paired with a concrete economic model for using shared wealth in the public interest.
Why the letters matter
The campaign did not want this framework trapped inside a policy PDF. The family letter translates the stakes into the language of rent, medical bills, tuition, and the fear many parents carry about whether their children will inherit a livable country. The educator letter addresses the people who would have to teach this honestly, with rigor, neutrality on contested policy conclusions, and real institutional backing.
Both letters make the same strategic point: a public that does not know what it owns cannot defend what it owns. The first generation educated as guardians may also be the first generation prepared to stop the quiet transfer of public wealth into private hands.
Documents
The Guardian Curriculum
The full policy framework describing the philosophy, four-stage structure, Alaska-model reference point, and implementation plan for building guardians instead of passive observers.
Open PDFA Letter to Parents and Students
A direct public letter for families about generational fear, economic extraction, and why students deserve to know that they co-own a public inheritance.
Open PDFA Letter to America's Teachers and Educators
A public letter to teachers and educators explaining what the curriculum asks of them, what support it promises, and why democratic stewardship belongs in real classrooms.
Open PDFA linked economic and educational agenda
This release is intentionally paired with the American Resource Dividend. The Guardian Curriculum is the civic-literacy side of the same public project: teaching a generation to understand what shared wealth is, how it has been captured, and how it can be governed to fund housing affordability, nonprofit healthcare, tuition-free education, and public auto insurance.
